What are the customs and traditions on New Year's Day?

New Year's Day customs include eating jiaozi, glutinous rice balls and rice cakes.

1, eat jiaozi

On New Year's Day, there will be customs and habits of eating jiaozi in northern areas. Because New Year's Day is the replacement of old and new years, also known as jiaozi Year, jiaozi and jiaozi are homophonic, so on New Year's Day, everyone will eat jiaozi, hoping to have a very good omen and be lucky in the new year.

Step 2 eat glutinous rice balls

On the first day of June 65438+ 10 1, everyone gets together, so in order to celebrate the arrival of this day, the older generation will cook a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls for the younger generation early in the morning, hoping to welcome the arrival of the new year after eating, and also hope that the day after eating will be happy, reunion and sweet.

Step 3 eat rice cakes

The meaning of rice cakes is getting higher every year, so eating rice cakes on the first day of the New Year also means New Year. Like rice cakes, life and career can flourish, which is a good sign. Therefore, there is a custom of eating rice cakes on New Year's Day in southern China.

Ways to celebrate the New Year:

1, China and even the whole world know that many countries have designated New Year's Day as a legal holiday, and it is a New Year's Day holiday. After the founding of New China, it was also stipulated that New Year's Day was a legal holiday, with one day off.

2. Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, people organized gongs and drums and danced folk dances collectively, but now they can still be seen in TV documentaries. Today, with the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a gala for travel, parties and other programs.

3. The traditional way of celebrating in China lies in the people, especially in the countryside. Every new year's day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and worship the gods of all parties, which means family reunion and dinner. As for a more intense way to celebrate, I haven't seen it yet.
